Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2735

Susan gave him a cold glance before sitting down on the chair near her. Her movements were graceful, yet the expression on her face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Luke, has T Corporation’s performance been poor lately?" asked Susan.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Louis tried to stop her.

Susan glowered at him. "Shut up. I'm just asking about the company's situation. I’m also one of the shareholders of the company. That can’t be a problem, right, Luke?"

"No," Luke replied coldly. He knew what Susan wanted to talk about. "We’ll be distributing the dividends for last year's performance next month. You’ll find out how T Corporation is doing then."

"Well, it does sound like T Corporation is doing quite well. Are you facing some difficulties? Otherwise, why would you..." Susan paused for a moment and continued, "You’re Louis’ brother. Louis just moved into a new house, and you only gave him…"

Susan glanced at the boxes. She could tell what was inside the boxes with just a glance. "A few small home appliances?"

"Mom!" Louis could no longer remain calm.

Of course, Luke had given him more than just those few pieces of furniture.

All the furniture in the living room was a gift from Luke.

Moreover, all of them were ordered from a well-known furniture brand, Roche-Bobois, and shipped from overseas. It took over a month for the international logistics to deliver them here.

Susan was most satisfied with the furniture placed in the living room. She thought that the expensive furniture fit her status.

However, she had no idea that all of this furniture was a gift from Luke to his younger brother.

Louis did not tell Susan about it. Luke told him not to tell her either. He was afraid that Susan would not accept the gifts after she found out about them.

Susan hated Luke because of Allison.

"I can’t see why you’re anxious about this," Susan replied with annoyance. She had always been unhappy with their relationship since they were children. Despite all the bad things that she told Louis about Luke over the years, he remained loyal to his elder brother.

Therefore, it made Susan even more unhappy.

"You know nothing. Just stop it!" Louis placed his hand on his forehead in frustration. Susan was his mother. There was nothing he could do about it.

Susan initially made demands that if she were to move, the living room's decoration had to be magnificent to match her status as the lady of the Crawford family.

Susan also insisted that her bed must be from the brand, Boca Do Lobo. She got used to sleeping on their bed. Also, her bedroom’s furniture had to be from Boca Do Lobo too.

It was a huge expense to purchase an entire set of Boca Do Lobo furniture. She also wanted the furniture in the living room to be from a well-known brand.

Louis had just held a grand birthday banquet for Susan and bought a limited edition set of jewelry for her. He did not have much money left.

Moreover, he insisted on starting his own business. Old Master Crawford already gave him the villa. He could not ask for more when they renovated the house.

If it were not for Luke's help to purchase the furniture in the living room, he would not have been able to complete the renovation.

It had always been Luke who helped him when he was at the toughest of times.

However, they promised not to tell the others because they had different biological mothers.

Louis did not expect Susan to take this opportunity to taunt him.

Louis felt ashamed when he heard what she said. Even though she was mocking Luke, her words made him feel like she was mocking his incompetence.

He could not even complete the renovation himself.

"What do you mean? I know everything!" Susan continued nitpicking. "You’re his brother. What’s the point of giving these to you? Isn't this a perfunctory move? Our house is beautifully renovated. Do we really need these small electrical appliances?"

"Mom, it's the thought that counts!" Louis clenched his fists tightly and turned to look at Luke.

Luke’s expression was calm as he knew he had a good conscience. After all, the amount of money Luke had given Louis was so much that he could have bought a house in the suburbs.
